Product Directory

Velocity Sensors
330505 Low Frequency Velocity Sensor
The Low Frequency Velocity Sensor is designed for hydro applications to detect vibration of the stator core, stator frame, and bearing supports. The sensor measures absolute vibration within the range of 0.5Hz to 1.0kHz, and its two-wire design uses moving-coil technology and embedded signal conditioning circuitry to provide a voltage output directly proportional to the vibration velocity. The sensor is used with the 3500/46M Hydro Monitor.
Velocity Transducers
Velocity Transducer Systems - 9200 and 74712
These are 2-wire, moving-coil velocity transducers, designed for general purpose velocity measurements. For most applications, however, we recommend the use of our Velomitor® piezo-velocity sensors.
 

Velomitor®

High Temperature Sensor
350900 High-Temperature Velocity and Acceleration Sensor (HTVAS)
Designed for use on a wide variety of gas turbines, the 350900 separates the high-temperature-rated sensing element from the signal conditioning electronics, with the two permanently connected via a flexible, mineral-insulated, hard-line cable. This robust arrangement allows mounting of the sensing head in areas with temperatures as high as 482° C (900° F).
Piezo Sensor
330500 Velomitor® Piezo-Velocity Sensor
This is the general-purpose version of our Velomitor transducer, useful for frequencies between 4.5 and 5,000 Hz.
Velomitor®
330525 Velomitor® XA Piezo-Velocity Sensor
This is an environmentally hardened version of our 330500 Velomitor® transducer, and is designed to meet NEMA 4X and IP65 ratings without the use of a housing. The transducer’s mounting stud uses pipe threads and does not require the transducer base to be flush with the machine case. This eliminates special mounting surface preparation required with other velocity transducers, resulting in lower installation costs.
330530 Radiation Resistant Velomitor
GE's new Bently Nevada Radiation Resistant Velomitor® sensor is specifically designed for the harsh environments that exist at nuclear power plants. Built for longer life and better performance, this sensor brings valuable machine information to your plant's monitoring systems.
High Temperature Velocity Sensor
330750 and 330752 High Temperature Velomitor® Systems
This design segregates the velocity sensor from the signal conditioning electronics by means of a hard-line cable, allowing the velocity sensor to be used in applications with temperatures considerably higher than our other Velomitor® transducers. Current versions of these sensors allow the sensing head to be mounted on surfaces with temperatures as high as +400°C (+752°F).
Low Frequency Sensor
190501 Velomitor® CT Velocity Transducer
This is a low-frequency version of our Velomitor® transducer, specifically designed for cooling tower monitoring applications with rotational speeds as low as 90 rpm.
 

Accelerometer

330400/330425 Accelerometer
330400/330425 Accelerometers
The 330400 accelerometer is designed for general-purpose casing acceleration measurements and meets all requirements of API 670. The 330425 is identical except it provides a broader amplitude range (75 g peak) and a sensitivity of 25 mV/g peak. Neither transducer requires an external interface module.
Acceleration Sensor
330450 High-Temperature Acceleration Sensor (HTAS)
The 330450 HTAS segregates the sensing element from the signal conditioning electronics, with the two permanently connected via a hard-line cable. This allows the sensing head to be mounted on surfaces with temperatures as high as +400°C (+752°F), while the signal conditioning electronics can be installed in a cooler location.
200105 Accelerometer
200150 Accelerometer
The 200150 Accelerometer is intended for use only with a compatible Transducer Interface Module (TIM) as part of our Trendmaster® Pro quasi-continuous online condition monitoring system. The accelerometer features a frequency response suitable only for general purpose applications. When machinery with slow rotative speeds will be monitored, use the 200155 and an appropriately configured proTIM instead. For acceleration enveloping applications, use the 200157 and an appropriately configured proTIM.
